If they frac arms/torso they won't prone you long enough for it to be a concern, if they start on legs my first thought would be "are they prepping for a quick prone with head fracs on the parry bypass?"

You are going to be parrying head by default, but how they approach the first number of fracs is important to gauge potential offenses. Torso/arms means I can prep a bit longer, legs means I have to be read for them to work in a quick parry bypass or potentially a weird route for DSB.

@Atalkez are you planning on keeping all of this information up to date? I'm just curious, it seems like it would be a useful tool for new players, and people new to pvp to learn how to fight and defend against classes instead of just saying 'go fight other people and figure it out!' Not saying that people say that, just having all of this information in one spot will help for sure!

As a side note, I actually really enjoyed reading about all the classes and how they fight and what you can do to prevent them from killing you. It's really nice to know!

Correction I would make is that bloodfire wont usually come before the pressure of the lock, it's at the end of it. Bleed reqs for bloodfire and anorexia are both 160 and we can give them simultaneously. So imp + 160 is locked on the next balance. Typically that'd be imp + haem + 160, but I've run into people with shockingly high cut off points for clot which made haem unnecessary outside of sealing.Locking hit will likely be:bfire + nau + ano + par or haem

(Also locks are the main way I kill people in psion so they're not all that rare I'd say)

Couple quick things I didn’t see before in the thread.First, is that dw has a room hinder as was mentioned, but also an ability to let them follow you when you move, even if they are off balance. To stop this from being a problem you can escape with fly or dash, however if you can do neither it can be a bit hard to escape from.Second is that against shaman/jester, there is a chance they will use factions on the doll or puppet to strangle, which hurts a lot if they have artifacts. This might not be enough to kill most people, but is still worth note.Third is that earth lord has a titan ability, and if they use it they can spam paste to do huge damage, and it ignores shield. If you see them do this run, or hinder them a lot, you cannot kill them with damage for about 30 seconds. When titan fades they will be hurt and suffer a long stun, so focus on not getting squished and take advantage of the stun to make them regret trying to cheese kill you.
